Beer Pong in Suburbia

When I decided to move to this neighborhood, I knew it was a great family neighborhood and that the girls would have tons of friends. What I didn't know, was that I was moving onto a street with some of the coolest people on the planet.

Case in point: beer pong at a 1-year old's birthday party last night.

I'm not ashamed that I walked home last night proclaiming that my neighbor Jen and I are beer pong champions of the neighborhood. We didn't have a four game run to stay quiet about it, especially since we were the only female contenders and were playing all the guys from the neighborhood. I'm not even embarrassed that I announced to my neighbors who were just arriving home from the beach that they were missing a great party, "the best 1-year old birthday party I've been to EVAH."

Yes, that's a direct quote.

I will also admit that I am strongly considering having t-shirts made for me and my awesome beer pong partner. I will wear mine with pride.

No, I certainly didn't move here to have happy hour mojitos on the driveway down the street. I didn't move here because beer pong is one of this street's favorite past times. I consider all of this bonus. 

Big. Time. Bonus.

Did I mention my partner and I had a four game winning streak?

Uh-huh, that's right.

    2. Beer at a 1 year old’s birthday party? Really?

    3. I think it is totally appropriate to demonstrate responsible drinking to children from the youngest ages. No different from demonstrating safe, responsible knife and firearm use or safe driving. I find nothing wrong with beer at a 1-year old’s birthday party.
    …and what is beer pong, anyway?

    4. Hahaha – that’s awesome. That’s a kid’s birthday party that I’d actually attend.

    5. Agreed! Beer pong is an awesome game. You rack up six cups, fill them part of the way with beer at the very end of the table (kind of like a pool configuration). Each team stands at the end of a long table. Then you take turns throwing the ping pong balls and trying to get them in the beer. When the ball goes in, the other team drinks. The object is to eliminate the other team’s cups and stay to play another round.

    7. Yeah really. It was sort of the after party. Juice boxes for kids of course. 😉

    8. OH! LOL I was thinking of something else, thus my shock. This sounds more appropriate, haha.

    9. Well, I took beer pong to mean getting completely frat boy, alcohol-instead-of-blood wasted…and that seemed wrong to me. =)
